Rhino 8: Layer duality

Rhino

Here is a curious file in Rhino 8.

Using an imported STEP file as a block from McMaster; changing the layer of the block to “Fasteners” takes partial effect, and the bolts exist in a layer duality. Hiding the layer “Fasteners” or the layer “WarningLayer” hides the bolts regardless.

Anyone else see this? I am on 8.2.23346.13001, 2023-12-12.

I’m not bothered really, I can always work around it.

Hi David - the visibility of objects in a block instance is controlled by both the layer of the instance itself and the layers, one or more, of the underlying block definition objects.

In your file, the instances are on Fasteners and the definition geometry on WarningLayer. You can change this in BlockEdit.

That will do me.

Thanks for the explanation!
